First records of Bolinopsis vitrea (L. Agassiz, 1860) (Ctenophora: Lobata) in the Black Sea
The ctenophore Bolinopsis vitrea is first reported from the Turkish and Bulgarian regions of the Black Sea. In Turkish waters, a considerable aggregation was found in Sile on the Asian side and at Kilyos on the European side in 2007. This appears to be the first record of this species in the Black Sea, which is known in the Mediterranean Sea including the Aegean Sea. Bolinopsis vitrea most like...
متن کاملNative and non-native ctenophores in the Gulf of Trieste, Northern Adriatic Sea
Observations of ctenophore species were made in the Gulf of Trieste between 2003 and 2006. We examined native ctenophore species with special attention to representatives of the orders Lobata and Beroida, and we recorded among them two non-native ctenophores: Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz 1865 and Beroe ovata sensu Mayer, 1912. The validity of the Mediterranean species Beroe ovata is discussed. ...
متن کاملState of Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora: Lobata) and mesozooplankton in Iranian waters of the Caspian Sea during 2008 in comparison with previous surveys
Mnemiopsis leidyi which was accidentally introduced into the Caspian Sea in 1999 and since then has colonized extensively. The horizontal distribution of M. leidyi and dominant mesozooplankton species was investigated in the south western Caspian Sea during February, May, July and November 2008. The average number and biomass of M. leidyi were in the same range (ca 200 individuals.m-3 (2000 in...

متن کاملInvasion Pathway of the Ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Mediterranean Sea
Gelatinous zooplankton outbreaks have increased globally owing to a number of human-mediated factors, including food web alterations and species introductions. The invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi entered the Black Sea in the early 1980s. The invasion was followed by the Azov, Caspian, Baltic and North Seas, and, most recently, the Mediterranean Sea. Previous studies identified two distinc...
